Optionality

Optionality

Mark Frederick Jereos, Under My Umbrella. Monochrome high-contrast photo of a woman with a white umbrella on a paved path.

Optionality is how we move. At its core, it is the potential of options, the simple ability to opt between this or that.

But real optionality is not the act of choosing. It is the preservation of the ability to choose.

A refusal to be boxed in, least of all by your own hand.

Because choice ends all possibility.

Optionality protects it.
